"An elegantly written, substantive, and exciting biography . . . as smooth and beguiling in its flow as one of John Hammond's 'look Ma, no hands' recording sessions."-- Los Angeles Times   "An elegant, winning biography."-- The Boston Globe   "[Prial] has conducted some solid research, and has fashioned the diverse strands of Mr. Hammond's life into a very readable narrative."-- The New York Times   "An engaging study of a man with two obsessions--making music and promoting social reform."-- Publishers Weekly   "A fast-moving and very readable biography."-- The New York Sun, "An elegantly written, substantive, and exciting biography . . . as smooth and beguiling in its flow as one of John Hammond's 'look Ma, no hands' recording sessions."-- Los Angeles Times "An elegant, winning biography."-- The Boston Globe "[Prial] has conducted some solid research, and has fashioned the diverse strands of Mr. Hammond's life into a very readable narrative."-- The New York Times "An engaging study of a man with two obsessions--making music and promoting social reform."-- Publishers Weekly "A fast-moving and very readable biography."-- The New York Sun, "An elegantly written, substantive, and exciting biography . . . as smooth and beguiling in its flow as one of John Hammond's 'look Ma, no hands' recording sessions."--"Los Angeles Times" "An elegant, winning biography."--"The Boston Globe" "[Prial] has conducted some solid research, and has fashioned the diverse strands of Mr. Hammond's life into a very readable narrative."--"The New York Times" "An engaging study of a man with two obsessions--making music and promoting social reform."--"Publishers Weekly" "A fast-moving and very readable biography."--"The New York Sun", "The extraordinary John Hammond has long needed a good biography. This is it." --Pete Seeger "John Hammond must be grinning in his grave, because Dunstan Prial has brought back to life for 21st-century readers the man who animated much of the 20th century's greatest music. "The Producer "does justice not only to Hammond's legendary role in instigating and integrating American music, but also to his indefatigable efforts on behalf of civil rights and labor unions. To read this book is to bask, once again, in Hammond's toothy smile and marvel at his enthusiasm and insight." --Ken Emerson, author of "Doo-Dah!: Stephen Foster and the Rise of American Popular Culture "and "Always Magic in the Air: The Bomp and Brilliance of the Brill Building Era.

Synopsis
John Hammond's life is a gripping story of music, money, fame, and racial conflict, played out in the nightclubs and recording studios. A pioneering producer and talent spotter, Hammond discovered Billie Holliday, Count Basie, Charlie Christian, Benny Goodman, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, and Stevie Ray Vaughan., The son of a Vanderbilt heiress, John Hammond listened to jazz records with his parents' servants, went to Harlem as a teenager and became a regular in clubs where very few white faces ever appeared. Taking a little family money, Hammond went across racial lines in pre-WWII America and came back with recordings of some of the greatest jazz musicians in history. By age twenty-two, he had convinced Benny Goodman to integrate his band and made his first big discovery: Billie Holiday. Then, as jazz gave way to pop and rock, Hammond championed Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, and Stevie Ray Vaughan in his life's extraordinary second act. In Dunstan Prial's hands, Hammond's biography becomes the story of American popular music since the 1930s, a tale of a man at the center of things, with his ears wide open.
